Married couple killed in Bonsall crash ID’d

BONSALL  An Escondido couple who died Sunday in a collision in Bonsall have been identified as Nao The Tran, 69, and his wife, Nhuan Thi Bui, 60, the Medical Examiner’s Office said Tuesday.

Tran was driving a Honda Accord east on Lilac Road when he collided with a Ford Explorer at the intersection of Old Highway 395, according to the California Highway Patrol. It appeared that Tran had stopped at a stop sign before pulling into the path of the SUV, which was headed south.

Tran was killed, and his wife, who was a passenger, was taken to a hospital but also didn’t survive. Tran was wearing a seat belt, but Bui was not, the medical examiner said.

The 36-year-old driver of the Explorer and her 6-year-old daughter were taken to a hospital with minor to moderate injuries.
